Ingredients
- 500 grams Potato gnocchi
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 250 milliliters Heavy cream
- 60 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.
Step 2
While the water is heating, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to let it brown.
Step 4
Pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat to low and let simmer gently for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
Step 5
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Step 6
Add the gnocchi to the boiling water and cook according to the package instructions, usually until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 7
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked gnocchi directly to the cream sauce, tossing to coat them evenly.
Step 8
Allow the gnocchi to simmer in the sauce for 1-2 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Step 9
Finish with a drizzle of olive oil and garnish with fresh parsley.
Step 10
Serve immediately, hot from the pan, with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
